I looked online and it seems obvious; Kinases add a phosphate group to a molecule, thus converting ATP to ADP. But... in glycolysis, Phosphoglyceratekinase produces ATP. I'm confused af.
 
Kinases move phosphate groups.
Hexokinase/Glucokinase add a Phopshate to Glucose
Phosphofructokinase add a Phosphate to Fructose-6P
Phosphoglycerate Kinase adds a Phosphate to ADP (making ATP) from 1,3-BPG
Pyruvate Kinase adds a Phosphate to ADP (making ATP) from PEP
